Blood and Sand

BLOOD AND SAND

“They must cough, they must yaw
Because their blood is in sand
Blood in sand

As it penetrates, they ask forgiveness to be born
As the sand dry, they ask for food to full their stomachs
Blood in sand

I am not yet old, silent to talk, as I exist I talk
I say what I see, most of them died in Dee
Blood in sand

Most of my brothers and sisters were killed
Seeking diamonds and Tanzanite 
As they were looking for better tomorrow, 
They forgotten our almighty GOD
He is the one to take the one to leave
Blood in sand


Let me put off my skin on behalf
To blind their eyes in seeing the Albinos 
Because they kill day and night
Like they have their own heaven for internal life
I kneel and pray till my knee will perish on me
Blood in sand”

The little baby woke up
From the deep sleep of the dream, on top
Seeing the little bird, rejoicing the joy of GOD.
